Over the last year I’ve met struggles beyond comprehension, things I would have never expected, yet I’ve also met with tribulations more-so than ever.  To be honest with you, if it weren’t for my family, and friends, I would have never got as far as I have, so when I say "I have succeeded", it’s not just my personal success, it’s the success of those whom surround me.  If I could point individuals out, they would be my immediate family (i.e. mother, father, brother and sister), my in-laws to be, my fiancee, Dan Bryant (whom I studied with at university), Joe Haines, Jo Cooper, and Steve Taylor (also course buddies), Steve Streeting (unbelievably patient with my absurd questions ;)), and various other friends such as Rhys, Stu and Fab for supporting me after my illness.  It’s quite amazing how such little efforts go such a long way.  All in all though, there have been a large quantity of individuals who have helped me one way or another over the last year and a half, especially from Solent Community Church and my flat mates Phil and Lou, and church elders Matt and Richard.  Again, I could go on and on, so apologies if I haven’t mentioned you.

Over the last four weeks I’ve been at my new job and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it, and because of this my focus has completely changed from university life, to working life (and amazing at how quick that has happened already).

So, this brings me to my actual point of this post.  Yesterday I was awarded with a first class honours degree in Computer Science, and I must say, it was the biggest struggle I’ve ever had in my life.  It was a scrape, but I feel comforted to know that my efforts, and the efforts of those around me, finally paid off.

As for my future in education, I’ve decided to slack off for a bit because life is just far too busy for anything.  I’m spending all day every day coding at the moment, and the evenings give me zero time for anything else as I’ve got a lot of house work to do, or I’m at the gym.  If I don’t respond to e-mails (as many have already noticed) then it’s because I don’t check them until lunch times.

A big thankyou to everyone!
